Back from the dead

Rafi Richardson is back on his bike after a year absence, courtesy of a ruptured spleen sustained last time I filmed with him. Here he is back riding his trails faster than ever.

 That sucks about your Spleen Dude, I ruptured mine too last September 17th. Didn't land an 8ft drop. When did you rupture yours?
  • + 1
 28th Feb last year, but i still have mine which is why recovery was so much longer was fairly mashed still though haha
  • + 1
 I squished mine right before Xmas. Hoping a little extra padding helps keep it safe
  • + 1
 The exact same thing happened to me. I tore a massive hole in it, but it didn't rupture. The only physical activity I was allowed to do for 3 months was walk.

 just concerning whether He feels more anxious while riding after the experience, or if it is the other way round ?

 Back from hospital and riding in t-shirt. Make sense Smile
  • + 2
 He has body armor on
  • + 1
 It actually looks to be a purple polo shirt... maybe he was playing a round of golf or perhaps a match of tennis then thought to himself, "self this is shit, where's my bike its time to crush some dirt and huck something" ! props bro, it takes a good rider to come back from an injury and kill it harder than before.
